A lot of girls had to leave early. A lot of girls felt pressure and needed to step up. We did really well today.

Some of the feedback I got was very violent. I had two girls come to my room. I had threats of violence messaged to me. People stopped me on my way to class. I was told my self-worth in about 20 words or less.

The belief is that girls tend to be better behaved.

In boys, it's ingrained in their heads that to dunk is just the highlight of basketball, whereas for girls, our shooting technique, making baskets and free throws is taught more. It's such a sexist approach to the sport sometime. Men aren't encouraging their little girls to try to work on their hops. They're encouraging them to work on their jump shots and the fundamentals of the game.

Boys have a tendency to jump around a lot more than girls. Boys have that desire to want to dunk way more than girls do. It just never seemed like something we could truly fathom and do.

As a role model for young girls and women, I just encourage them to continue their education and set their goals. And for me, mine are just really high and I just happen to be a professional basketball player but I really am a stickler for my goals and I wanted to get my Master's.
